Why stay at Alabama just to be a career back up?

Everyone already knew he was gonna transfer. Well, anyone with a smidge of common sense. Some folks actually thought he could change positions but that idea is more foolish than sticking around to keep the bench warm. Which 4 or 5 star do you boot from the two deep elsewhere for Hurts. Even if Jalen has elite measurables for another position like H-back or safety, it would take some time to learn to play there at a high level and by the time he learned it there is still the issue of beating out other skilled athletes for playing time.

Bottom line here is that he is gone sometime early in the fall. Saban had no choice but to play him in 2016 and probably stuck with him too long last year but it would take a fool to continue to play the guy with what looks like a possible future first round pick sitting on the bench.

Good luck to Jalen Hurts at his new school. Hope he wins the job there and goes on to break records and win a lot of football games.
